The Best Description of Heaven

Diamond is a crystalline form of Carbon.

A base element. Gold shall be crystalline

And take on the appearance of Jasper stone.

Mount Zion shall be a holy city like

A city we have today, with towers tall

Raised from the foundation of twelve gemstones like

The layers of our earth today in sedimentary rock.

The towers shall be pearlescent rose and peridot

In appearance, and crystalline like a diamond.

The entire gemstone, which shall be Mount Zion

Shall have roads carved within it like a pure cavern

And mansions, and lakes of living water, and cataracts too,

And fire shall be the Holy Spirit's light, and the countenance

Of the Father, seated at His temple in Jerusalem.

In heaven's rooms, the sky shall be golden prisms

With the master carvings of God's handiwork

Of delicate lapidary, like a cathedral's spiny roof

Of wrought heavenly hosts, Cherubim, Seraphim and Angels. 

It shall be an ethereal cavern, with no darkness

But only light. And one's mansions shall have petrified woods

For their crossbeams, gemstones for their stained-glass windows

And precious stones for their delicate things; their furniture

Shall be everlasting, to recline in beds with heavenly linens

Of which, we shall be clothed with raiment that feels

Like the Moon, Stars, Cataracts and Knowledge.

We shall walk with our Beulah, a perfect spouse, Hephzibah 

Whom we shall be made into nations and clans and mighty peoples.















This is a mystery, but is spoken of in the Marriage of the Lamb Supper.

There shall be suburbs and countrysides, libraries, and books

And fish, and all the animals we Christians loved

They shall be there, and populate this Heavenly City;

Paths with many species of the forests of trees of life, 

And grasses all with grains, all plants bearing fruit,

And flowers all seasons, each plant bearing twelve kinds of fruit.

The paths gold, and the stones of Blue Quartz, Unakite

Pink Howlite, Amethyst, all colors of Coral and Carnelian.

It shall be seeded with the Seed of Man and Beast.

There shall be heavenly beasts and no rapine;

Flora and Fauna which shall evolve, and studied;

The Trees of Fruit of Life shall grow into myriads of species

And every tree shall bear a fruit, and Sweet and Savory

Shall be the only tastes remaining. No bitter, no sour, no salt.

There shall be new heavenly tastes, and new heavenly senses.

The Fruit of Life shall be our Meat. And there shall be no sadness or tears.

Or fear, or mourning, but only joy, love and peace.

New colors yet unseen, and majesty and dominion shall be

Given to us by God, to rule alongside with Him for ever and ever.

Amen.
